I've just started using X on a UTek machine and there is one
tool that I have gotten use to on the Xerox Interlisp-D machines
that would be nice for X: to take a "snapshot" of an any region
of the screen and put that into a (bitmap) window of its own.  It would be
accessed from the background menu.  This is so
handy I can't imagen someone hasn't written it already.  Pointers?
(oh, I'm still under x10.4, but if you know of this tool in x11
I'll take it anyway).

thanks a 10^6,
